![]() ![]() In Week 1 at Indy, Jacksonville scored on just one of their first four possessions and looked pretty out of sync in the process. What do you expect to go differently in this game compared to Week 1?ĭillon: I’m expecting a faster start for the Jags offense for sure. He probably hits somewhere in the range of 175 yards, a touchdown pass, and a pick or two but can’t create any “Minshew Magic.” Henry Zimmer: I expect Minshew to be serviceable and throw the ball around to decent impact, but I can’t imagine him being the force multiplier that elevates the Colts to a victory. Ultimately, I expect Minshew to be outplayed by the golden child of Jacksonville in a closer-than-we-would-like shootout. I also expect one turnover courtesy of the Jags' defense. Next, I expect Minshew to play with a chip on his shoulder and complete some nice 15- to 20-yard passes to Josh Downs and Michael Pittman. Not expecting a fun return for 15.Īdam Snowden: First, I expect some cheers for our mustached, jorts-wearing, hand-hammering, ex-Jacksonville favorite. I expect the Jaguars to play Minshew like they would any other quarterback his caliber - aggressively, with a mindset of stifling plays before they begin. That won’t change this week against the Colts with Jonathan Taylor in and Anthony Richardson out. Gus Logue: Jacksonville loads the box at the second-highest rate in the league, per Sports Info Solutions. So far, in his equivalent of two full games played, Minshew has thrown zero interceptions and has zero fumbles lost. Travis Holmes: I expect an up-and-down day for Minshew on Sunday. Minshew will manage the game well, but he will ultimately lack elite pass-catching weapons and the ability to stretch the field for big plays. The Jaguars' defense has really started to hit their stride over the last two weeks. Joseph Henry: I expect Minshew to have a pretty solid day with a handful of mistakes. As long as the Jaguars can get out to an early lead and create long third downs, he’ll have a tough Sunday in the Bank. We know Minshew’s ability to lead and motivate a team. I expect a warm welcome from the fans, but not so much from the defensive line. Jefferson Gibson: While Minshew’s record at Jacksonville was not the best, he was definitely a fan favorite for all of Jaguars faithful. ![]() The defense has shown up in every game thus far, and I think they’ll be ready to go for Minshew - especially since they’ll have all week to prepare, as opposed to an in-game change where he comes off the bench. The Jags’ defense is going to have to remain disciplined, but as Doug Pederson said on Wednesday, they have a lot of tape on Minshew to work off of. Justin Cross: My expectations for Minshew are that he’s going to play scrappy, get the ball out quickly, and make a lot of off-schedule plays. I don’t think the Jaguars' defense will allow Minshew a lot of time in the pocket. The Colts said they were increasing Jonathan Taylor’s snap counts this week to prepare him for Sunday. I’m assuming we’ll see less Minshew Magic and more Minshew Management in this one.Ĭaitlin Connor: I’m expecting Minshew to rely heavily on making plays with his feet and the run game. Expect a heavy dose of RPO concepts with an emphasis on getting the ball out of Minshew’s hands quickly. What are your expectations for Gardner Minshew in his return to Jacksonville?ĭillon Appleman: I don’t see the “revenge game” label changing anything about what we typically see from a Gardner Minshew performance. The Jaguars are favored by 4 points against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 6, according to our pals at DraftKings Sportsbook.
